Lennox Lewis, the world champion boxer, said he couldn't believe anyone could defeat David Benavidez, the 175-pound champion of the World Boxing Council ( WBC ), even Dmitry Bivol, the Russian.
Everyone avoids Benavidez because he is like a good fighter, Lewis said, and that's why he views himself as invincible right now. " Benavidez, that's my personality. In a way, he's a serious candidate, the one people avoids. Who is willing to fight him well? I don't see anyone else doing it, which is how talented he is. I did pick Benavidez to defeat Bivol, he declared. Consider that Saul ' Canelo' Alvarez passed over David Benavidez, who moved up to 175 pounds. Oleksandr Gvozdyk and David Morrell defeated the Mexican-American, making him the required challenger to Dmitry Bivol, the division's unwavering hero. Bivol made the decision to withdraw from his WBC title and avoid the struggle, making him the division's unquestioned champion. Anthony Yarde will then face Benavidez for the first time on November 22 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The American boxer is one of the most dangerous competitors the Mexican Monster may experience because of his strength, according to professionals. Despite this, the Mexican-American is still the favorite to win. In the event that he wins, Benavidez might face Russian Bivol in the circle to avenge his position as one of the best lightweight champion. David Morrell defeated David Benavidez, 29, in a unanimous decision, to claim the WBA standard 175-pound name. The Mexican Monster has a 30-win, 24-win, and no-loss history in his professional job.
